Texture practice. Acrylic paint and tissue paper on manilla folder. I rarely incorporate texture into my works, so I wanted to play around and experiment with layering tissue paper in this piece. I tore a large sheet of tissue paper into smaller sections then adhered them to manilla folder with the acrylic paint. I used the paint as a glue rather than actual glue to get different shades of of color then painted over some areas for a more saturated effect like on the areas of black and the streak of red.
I like how the tissue paper is somewhat wrinkly and has a texture that appears random compared to that smooth paint. I think it contrasts nicely with the face, although you can see some of the wrinkling on the lips and forehead. Overall, I like this piece, but I would change the face if I decided to redo this. It looks warped, especially when you compare the top half to the bottom, plus there's no real focus of the gaze. The eyebrows are too dark and defined as well.
